My Daughter is having serious medical issues posted on 11/19/2018
My Daughter "V" is having serious medical issues. The doctor is doing more tests on Thursday to find out what's causing everything (MRI etc.) There's a possibility of a blood clot or tumor in her brain. My husband & I are hoping it's nothing more than a pinched nerve in her neck which could be solved with a Chiropractic adjustment. She's only 38 years old and has been a faithful follower of God all her life. I'd greatly appreciate it if all you Prayer Warriors would pray for her. Please God, help and heal my precious daughter and give us the "Peace which passes all understanding". Amen.

"Please pray for my son, Shawn. After 8 plus months of extremely toxic chemo, 20% of his lung cancer..." (more)Update posted on 11/19/2018: Thank you, Abba Father for protecting & guiding me driving from far northwest Oregon to Texas! Along I-5 last week, I saw a tall white cloud rising from a canyon West of the highway. The next morning, I saw that there were no cars in the motel parking lot. Asked the clerk & he said everybody had evacuated hours before! There were no problems for me getting out & on down South on I-5! I felt a closeness to my Father all through the journey to see Shawn. Thank you, God! On Thursday, Shawn's Oncologist told me he could not give a prognosis, as it was a day-to-day journey now. Please pray for a miracle of healing & generation of new lung tissue. Losing a second child is more than I can bear. Selfish? You betcha. We need Shawn. San Angelo needs such a giving person as Shawn. Please, pray.

grandparents concerns posted on 11/18/2018
Our request is that people would pray for our grandson and his wife, that as young Christians, they will be given the love, courage and stamina to face what may be awaiting them in the near future. They have been married over two years and are expecting twins next spring. This past week they were told by the Doctor that one of the twins may be suffering from Down’s Syndrome. I, as a grandparent, firmly believe in 1 Corinthians 10:13. Please help us to pray that God will give them the strength to accept His will for their lives and their precious babies. Thank you sincerely for your prayers and the prayers of God’s people. Prayer changes lives! God Bless! Nils and Ruth

Grandpa posted on 11/17/2018
My granddaughter M is a drug addict and as much as she wants to be free from it, she keeps being pulled back by her need for the drug, and her involvement with the wrong friends. She ran away from home earlier this week again. My daughter has connected with her and hopefully will be able to pick her up and take her home again. We are trying to find a place that will take her in and provide the treatment she needs. Please pray that M will come home, have the strength to fight her addiction, and that we can find the right treatment center that can take her in.

"Lord, I need direction on how I should deal with the situation going on in my daughter's home..." (more)Update posted on 11/16/2018: Grandson has recently started a new job. He has been staying at my daughter's until he and girlfriend save enough for housing assistance. They need to get enough for security deposit by second week of December. They have a one year old son and a daughter due in several weeks. Today T. went to Support Court for back support for his three year old from previous relationship. The judge gave him two weeks to come up with $700 back support or he will go to prison for sixty days without work release, which will cause him to loose his job. Ex. was going to drop support arrears but judge will not allow it. I fear for his safety if he goes to prison, because he has emotional problems, He was diagnosed with A.D.D and has anger issues. Pray for God"s intervention and will to be administered to T. In Jesus name. Amenl

Sister had major stroke posted by Myrtle Macdonald on 11/15/2018
Nov 12 at 5 AM, Cora's favorite caregiver in Assisted Living found her fallen on the floor. In ER the TPA injection did not clear up the occlusion in an artery in her right brain. Her ICU Internist and social worker met with Rev. JB (who is also an RN) and me yesterday and graciously explained the choices. Her family doctor had also seen her and agreed. She can't swallow, barely responds and can't move her left leg and arm. We chose comfort measures rather than tube feeding. Even if she recovers, she won't be able to live in Assisted Living again,. So I am faced before Nov 30, with giving her precious things to relatives living 2000 or 4000 km away, or donating them to second hand stores and/or have a sale. At 97 myself all this is overwhelming. Telling our family is hard. Brother Walter cried and asked for prayer.

Please pray for Elsie posted on 11/15/2018
Please pray for Elsie and her family. After a year battling cancer, Elsie, a college student, thought that she was cancer- free, only to find out recently that it had returned. The more aggressive recommended therapy might affect her ability to conceive children. Please pray for Elsie.

Verse for Today

Psalm 1:1-2 – Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. (NIV)
